Bill SchickCocobolo and Curly Maple
3/8x10 pin
Ivory Joint
Ivory inlays
Small tip of Ivory on the end of the Joint
Segmented Handle
Scrimshaw
Mint condition
Bill used ivory joints in a higher percentage of his cues than any other cue maker and especially on his more expensive cues, he liked to add a small tip of ivory on the end of the joint bolt, engraved with a fancy "S" for Schick. (A couple of other well-known cue makers later copied this feature, with Bill's permission.)
He loved ivory not just for aesthetic reasons - he believed the hit from an ivory joint was the best hit there was. He liked the sound, the feel, and the feedback to the player. His cues always had a crisp feel to the hit.
Bill Schick cues are hard to find these days, as most have been absorbed into private collections. This is a rare find, especially in mint condition.
Enjoy the photos

Racking?I remember asking my Dad once, when I would get better at pool? He said "When you get tired of racking."
That's why I have children.

I guess that most of you never heard of Bill so here you are an opportunity to learn something and to get some insides.
I always liked and appreciated his work, workmanship but the way his cues play.
They are one of the best playing cues you can come across.
I was lucky enough to buy all collection and all cues except the 4 pointer are in test hit condition.
Enjoy the photos and here you are an introduction to Bill's work!
Better and more close up photos are coming soon!
Well Billy Webb, known on AZ Billiards as Spiderweb has finally received the recognition for his work that he deserves. The July-August edition of inside pool magazine has featured Billy Webb as the Cue maker of the month in their Cue Makers Corner, Written By AZ Member Fred Agnir.
Billy Webb, has worked for many years on perfecting his cue making abilities. Billy is a very humble individual who rarely tut-es his own horn, and this more than anything has prevented him from receiving the recognition he greatly deserves. Billy builds his cues along the lines and using the parabolic taper developed by David Paul Kersenbrock and also used in South West and bender Custom Cues.
Billy mostly built cues that have six points three high and three low with Veneers in most cases. However, over the years Billy has been perfecting Butterfly Spliced cues in addition to his six point cues. The Butterfly Spliced cues that Billy has been perfecting Butterfly Spliced cues in addition to his six point cues. The Butterfly Spliced cues that Billy Builds are very unique and include a combination of standard points in conjunction with Butterfly points. Very few cue makers can make cues that are even similar to these Butterfly cues due to the overlapping veneers form Butterfly Splice to Butterfly splice. As I have stated above Billy is very humble and plainly states that Paul Fanellli and Kyle Van Den Bosch (Mariposa Cue Company) make the best around. Here is a direct quote made by Billy in another post concerning the two previous mentioned cue maker.

Well, Billy Web known on AZ Billiards as Spiderweb is is one of my favorite cue makers.
I tried, had and have cues from all the makers and can say without any doubt that his cues are one of the best playing cues i have ever tried. Amazingly consistent so if you like one, you will like them all. They have medium stiff hit that is more on stiff side and are balanced perfectly.
I see lots of cues that have a huge amount of followers that can't even get in the same sentence with Billy's cues. That's how great they are.
People tell me lots of times....it would look nicer with a leather wrap or you should have changed the wrap on this one into leather or i would replace it with a leather wrap. But, Bill liked using linen and they look great with linen. Linen was his trademark along with butterfly points in his late cues so, no, i won't change a wrap on any of them nor would i suggest you to do that if you have hs cue.
They are perfect exactly like they are.

I like the wrap with that design.
No offense, but that should have a brown bumper.
Love the cue!
